Cheap Gas Scooters Within Your Reach


Since not everyone can get a driver's license or buy a car, a lot of people use gas scooters these days. 50% of these scooters are made in China. As a matter of fact, China is the largest manufacturer of scooters in the world. Because most of the scooters from China are two to five times lower than American and European models, a lot of people opt for these models. Unfortunately, because of problems with customer service and defective parts, these cheap gas scooters have gotten a lot of bad remarks since they were first introduced in the market.

The bad reputation of gas scooters from China

In most of the forums online, there are a lot of posts that complain about defective parts like oil leakages that are caused by wrongly placed cover gaskets, falling muffler guards and fragile speed cables. Some people also complained about customer service personnel that kept on advising them to get a tune up until the warranty has expired.

Proving the critics wrong

The good news is that manufacturing companies in China have improved their quality control. For this reason, there are a lot of reliable cheap gas scooters in the market. The bad news is that the quality of these products has no uniformity. It’s still possible to find a cheap gas scooter that may not function well. So that you wouldn't have any of these bad experiences, here are two cheap gas scooters that will never let you down.

The best cheap gas scooters from China

There are cheap gas scooters with a four-stroke 150cc engine for as low as $999 in the market. The cheapest basic gas scooter is the 150cc Roadrunner Classic. Its structure is easily assembled and is known for the smooth and quiet ride that it provides. They are also built with a remote and alarm system. They come in silver, red, blue, black and yellow. They even come with a trunk with a matching color. The good thing about the Roadrunner Classic is that all the units have been test driven. They also come with 24-month power train parts only warranty. These units also have several warranty extension options. Among all the cheap gas scooters that you can find in the market, the Roadrunner Classic is the best deal that you can get.

The TANK Urban Sporty, on the other hand, is highly recommended for its power and reliability. This stylish scooter has a simple but solid structure that can carry two passengers. It is also legal in the freeway. Built with a remote an alarm system, this scooter can be purchased at an amount of $1,299. It is considered to the best among all cheap gas scooters.

Although it is one of the most well-praised cheap gas scooters in the market, it is not perfect. Its fuel tank capacity is only 0.875 of a gallon and can only run 90 miles per gallon. Also, even though it is legal in the freeway, riding this TANK scooter can be very uncomfortable. Its small wheels can give a feeling of instability.

There are other reliable cheap gas scooters in the market. You just need a good eye for dealers and a reputable dealer in order to make sure that you will not go wrong in picking your bike.
